Try oats: they love eating the shoots.
When you buy “cat grass”, it’s oats.
Just get some whole oats from your local health-food store, & plant ‘em, & let your friends eat the stuff to their hearts’ content:
it’ll do their health good, too!

I’m of a kind of Vajrayana ( Tibetan AwakeSoulism/Buddhism ) which apparently died-out centuries ago.
( I’ve earned Soul/CellOfGod/Continuum memories from previous lives, in meditation: only 1 of those previous incarnations was human, the rest were mostly insects, like a hornet/bee/wasp probably in central Africa who saw a few humans )
it’s abstract.
All material-forms, all rituals, etc, are misleading, fundamentally.
OceanOfAllAwakeSouls/Brahman/G-D/EmitterOfUnconsciousSouls hasn’t any form.
The old testament had something on that: “commandment that no-one ever mistake any form for G-D”.
Carlos Castaneda’s guru “Juan Matus” spoke of the real Universe being abstract.
Basically, it’s Science/Engineering of one’s Continuum’s future-condition.
Want to be crushed under suffering more? Then crush others under suffering, & wait for the action->reaction, of the meanings emitted by one’s continuum eventually are forced back into one’s continuum.
Want to be liberated from reincarnation/Universe’s-recycling & all the perpetual cycle-of-birth-life-sickness-injury-death-bardo…birth…?
THEN all one has to do, is earn shedding SurfaceMind/ego duality ( which Castaneda’s tradition called “Crossing Over” & Buddhism calls realizing of Zen: same thing: ego-annihilation ), so only the 2 more-fundamental minds still are in-play,
then earn the dissolution of one’s LifeMind, which is our unconscious & our dreaming-mind, but it can be made fully conscious & capable…
Earning the dissolution of that leaves only the Soul/Continuum/3rdAttention ( as Castaneda’s tradition called it ).
Once that’s done, then one only has to purify it enough so that not-only is it free from Universe’s containment/perpetual-recycling, but it eventually gets from inside Universe to outside ( which is Enlightenment: dissolution into OceanOfAllAwakeSouls/GreatSpirit/Brahman/G-D/etc )
There are 3 kinds of mind which obliterator-force can’t understand, from our perspective:
Anyways, it’s all self-evolution, eradication-of-the-ego/self, sublimation-from-ignorant-matter-to-pure-spirit, & that kind of thing…
Just providing this for a bit of perspective: most assumption-rivers/religions don’t hold that there is some mathematical-form/judo required for a someone to get from their current-condition to their desired improved-condition, but that’s essentially how mine works.
Current condition, desired condition, what is the geometry-of-intent which produces the alteration-of-one’s-unconscious-mind that one wants…

I’m suggesting you invest in reading a book on https://www.LeanPub.com called “Algebra-Driven Design”.
the reason I’m suggesting it is that the complex-requirements you’re being persecuted-by, are exactly the sort of thing that that book can help with.
( I’m presuming you code )
By creating the domain’s algebra, & using meta-programming, you can prevent whole categories of bugs.
I only got part-way into the book ( I’m braindamaged, & have beenfailing to learn programming since the 1980’s, when I lost 1/10th of my brain-volume ), but being able to create an APi with ZERO bugs in it, is part of what I’d seen in that book.
I’m a huge believer in keeping requirements divided into dimensions, & keeping those dimensions orthogonal, because once you fail in doing that, you’re fscking doomed.
Here: got the link for you:

Sorry, but air-quality damage from gas cooking & air-quality damage from burning cooking-oil have nothing to do with each-other.
Both create harmful air.
Cooking with electric stove ( induction seems to be the cheapest, next to microwave, in terms of energy ) removes the air-quality harm done by gas.
Burning cooking-oil harms air-quality no matter what heating-technology was used to produce the mistake.

To the best of my knowledge, back-propagation IS learning, whether it’s happening in a neural-net on a chip, or whether we’re doing it, through feedback, & altering our understanding ( so both hard-logic & our wetware use the method for learning, though we use a rather sloppy implimentation of it. )
& altering the relative-significances of concepts IS learning.
( I’m not commenting on whether the new-relation-between-those-concepts is wrong or right, only on the mechanism )
so, I can’t understand your position.
Please don’t deem my comment worthy of answering: I’m only putting this here for the record, is all.
Everybody can downvote my comment into oblivion, & everything in the world’ll still be fine.
You don’t have to do ANYthing in order to have copyright on your images.
That is standard throughout the Berne convention & has been for decades.
Registering makes court-cases easier to win, but having copyright on one’s renditions isn’t in any way requiring that one have registered anything with anybody.

Anybody who pretends that the US hasn’t operated as an empire, there is even a book named “How To Hide An Empire” on it.
That insight ( the link ) of Glubb’s was important.
Please glance at the history backing it, in that table, on that page…
I believe it is partly that the empire-rulers identity becomes sooo completely mis-matched from the actual composition of the empire, that it is an inevitable self-destruction, at that age of its evolution.
insightful question,
it isnt just the internet, in case you hadn’t noticed, it is ALL civil-rights that are being gutted, in the enshittocene.
“once the infection has moved the ‘fulcrum’, the balance between the involuntary-host & the infection, far enough, it can then switch from symbiosis to totalitarian rampaging growth-at-any-cost, excluding-all-vital-functions, enforcing its parasitic & fatal consumption, killing the patient”
A tipping-point is being crossed, though it’s taking a few decades ( planets are slower than individual-animals, in experiencing infection ).
It’s our rendition of The Great Filter, in-which we enforce that we can’t be viable, because factional-ideology “needs” that we break all viability from the world.
Or, to be plainer, it is our race’s unconscious toddler setting-up a world-breaking tantrum, to “BREAK GOD AND MAKE GOD OBEY” its won’t-grow-up.
Read Daniel Kahneman’s “Thinking Fast & Slow”, & see how the imprint->reaction mind, Kahneman1 ( he calls it “System 1”, but without context, that’s meaningless ) substitutes easy-to-answer questions for the actual questions…
The more you read that book, the most important psychology book in the whole world, right now, the more obvious it is that Ideology/prejudice/assumption-river/religion/dogma is doing all it can to break considered-reasoning ( Kahneman2 ) from the whole world, and it is succeeding/winning.
“Proletariat dictatorship” the Leninists want, “populist dictatorship” the fascists want, religious totalitarianism, political totalitarianism, ideological totalitarianism, etc, it’s all Kahneman1 fighting to break considered-reasoning from the whole world, and the “disappearing” of all comments criticizing Threads from the Threads portion of the internet … is perfectly normal.
It’s simply highjacking of our entire civilization, by the systems which want exclusive dominion.
Have you checked your youtube account’s settings section, in the history section, to see what percentage of your comments have been disappeared??
Do it.
Everybody do it.
Discover how huge a percentage of your contribution to the “community” got disappeared, because it wasn’t what their algorithm finds usefully-sensationalistic, or usefully-pushing-whatever-they-find-acceptable.
I spent a few hours deleting ALL my comments from there, after seeing that around 1/2 of what I’d contributed had been disappeared.
There are a few comments now, but … they’ll be removed, either by yt or by me, soon.
No point in pretending that meaning is tolerable, anymore, you know?
Only fakery & hustle remains, for most of the internet, & that transformation’s going to be complete, in a few years.

Simplistic.
Anarchists pretend that no-archy is both good & workable.
No-archy, within your body, is called metastasized-cancer.
Having bone-cells growing anywhere-they-want, is no-archy.
Having bone-cells growing ONLY where they are supposed to be, is archy.
Same with every kind of cells.
Whenever police-services of whatever kind is removed from a civilization, organized-crime becomes the police.
“Nature abhors a vacuum.”, automatically demonstrates its inevitability.
Try un-corrupting Northern Mexico, now, after the drug-cartels became the real government of that territory.
The hierarchy within your body, with the 4 brains running everything…
One’s gut-biome modifies the funciton of the nervous-system, significantly, too.
But anybody who denies that hierarchy is intrinsic to evolved-intelligence, is incompetent.
Anybody who denies that hierarchy is intrinsic to the human-advantage of considered-reasoning, produced by the cortex, is incompetent.
Just letting all the organs in one’s body decide “by consensus” what to do, blotting-out one’s human-brain, wouldn’t produce human meaning, it’d instead produce porridge’s meaning.
The same is true in civilization.
You cannot have people incompetent in science doing science…
You cannot have people incompetent in managing doing managing…
You cannot have people incompetent in teaching doing teaching…
…without anti-strategic consequences conquering the civilization ( exactly what all countries among our world, at the moment, have done ).
This Anark posits that hierarchy itself is the problem.
OK, so his brain, at the top of the hierarchy within his organs-system, within his body, holds taht hierarchy itself is the wrong answer.
Do you see the narcissistic “different rules for internally vs for externally, different rules for me vs for you” scam that politically-motivateds pull, relentlessly?
Hierarchy itself isn’t the problem.
The problem is the rewards-system embodied in particular hierarchies.
Given that corruption is normal & pervasive in human-nature, the ONLY method for breaking corruption’s rule of our world is … FLOSS doing the managing.
Make the eligibility for authority be removed by being of the narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy/nihilism/sadism/systemic-dishonesty hexad.
Make the eligibility for authority be contingent on one’s responsibility.
Make it so that authority cannot be gained politically, but instead only through tested merit.
I’m not talking about politically-highjacked “meritocracy” which always devolves down to privilege-archy, I’m talking about guaranteed-healthy-level-playing-field where education works properly, and cannot be highjacked, where adequate-nutrition is guaranteed to all students & children, where people as part of their educational development are got as competent as possible ( not as dumbed-down & turned-into-steers, as our “education” institution is oriented to doing: “the only manipulable child is a broken & insecure child”, as John Taylor Gatto, the NY State Teacher of the Year award winner, pointed-out )…
I’m talking a kind of education where each student is brought up to their rightful capability, no matter what “grade” that is, for that subject, so you could have a 12yo learning calculus in 1 session then learning basic-English in another, instead of dumbing-down everybody to the institutionally-enforced lowest-common-denominator…
( fundamentally the communist concept of “education”, which is regimented mass force-feeding is evil, as it runs-over the GodGivenPotential in nearly-all of the students’ lives, manufacturing aversion-to-learning, in place of the hunger-for-understanding that had been born into kids )
You boost up LivingPotential, and as people reach the more-competent levels, you challenge 'em more, & test 'em more…
and you prevent the people who have the wrong character, the wrong nature, from having authority, systematically.
THAT is missing from all political-systems in our world.
Politics intends that narcissism/machiavellianism/sociopathy-psychopathy/nihilism/sadism/systemic-dishonesty have exclusive-rights/authority, and uses every means possible, to gain that highjacking.
Break political-motivation from authority of any kind.
ONLY THEN will it be possible to discover what having a “healthy brain, healthy heart, healthy bones, & healthy muscles” means, for any civilization.
Anyways, downvote me to hell, for not parroting accepted-dogma.
Hierarchy is required both within one’s body & within any effective civilization.
Corrupt-VALUES make it impossible for a hierarchy to produce uncorrupt results, but corrupt-values are not God-given, not Universe-predetermined, they are indulged-in by our kind.
Ruthless objectivity & ruthless integrity can, if held-to, break that from our social-momentum, for a portion of humankind, IF that portion has the spine to earn it.
Otherwise, The Great Filter will just keep escalating, until our rampaging ignorance has force-extinguished all humankind, later this century.
